Ford is among the American automakers that never fail to astound its users. For decades, the auto manufacturer has brought forward features that make its cars perfect for every use. From a regular mid-ranged sedan to a Sports Utility Vehicle, Ford has something for everyone.

Every year, it introduces technologies that make its cars boast greater performance, better aesthetics, and a safer ride. Not to mention, the American automaker also brings technologies that cater to the aspects of entertainment while on the go. SYNC is none other than the perfect example here. Following is a brief guide to what sync is and what you can expect from this technology.

Ford SYNC

This is, in the simplest of terms, an entertainment and communications system that is factory-integrated into the Ford automobiles. Since its release in 2007, it has seen three different generations. There are also three different types of SYNC: The SYNC, SYNC with MyFord Touch, SYNC 3.

SYNC is the simplest form of the technology. It comes basically in almost all Ford vehicles. With SYNC, you have the ease of listening to music, making a call, use applications from the designated SYNC AppLink, in addition to a variety of other features. The tech also assists you in driving, adding to the aspect of safety.

SYNC with MyFord Touch is an upgrade of the original SYNC. With it, you get to enjoy the best of its predecessor. In addition, a wide range of enhanced features also become available, that help in elevating your overall driving experience.

SYNC 3 is the top-of-the-line technology available in high-end Ford Vehicles. From a user-friendly interface to a range of features for enhanced safety and entertainment, everything is available in SYNC 3. This tech by Ford is what truly defines an elite experience in your Ford automobile.

Top Features

There are several aspects that make SYNC a worth having technology in your car. Following are a few of its best features.

AppLink

With Sync AppLink, you have the freedom to connect your smart-phone to this gadget and control applications via voice control. This feature is, however, available on selective Ford models. With AppLink, you no longer have to get your hands off the wheel.

The LCD screen

The three different SYNC techs all come with different screens from a standard LCD in the SYNC to a smart capacitive touchscreen in SYNC 3. The latter also features additional features like pinch-to-zoom and quicker reaction to voice commands.

SiriusXM Traffic and TravelLink

Available in the SYNC with MyFord Touch and SYNC 3, this feature lets you navigate through your route in the simplest manner possible. The best part is that you can even search for destinations like restaurants and gas stations via voice commands. In other words, while in a Ford vehicle, driving is the only thing you focus on: you can voice-command SYNC to play music or find a restaurant for you.
